The Italian Cultural Institute is the official Italian government centre for the promotion of culture, offering a wide choice of Italian language classes.

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced, whether you want Italian for business or pleasure, we can help you perfect your language skills at a level that suits your needs, and times and days that suit your schedule.

You can keep up to date with Italian culture by taking advantage of exciting Institute events, such as films, plays, concerts, lectures, books and poetry readings, and exhibitions.

Our students can also use our Library, with more than 25,000 volumes, plus periodicals and a large reference section. All in a friendly, informal and lively atmosphere that is totally Italian.

Our classes are conducted in Italian and provide training in all basic communication skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing – with a systematic study of grammar. Our teachers are university-qualified and native speakers. Our classrooms have video and audio equipment, as well as satellite links.

Our linguistic levels follow the new Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, CEF, produced by the Council of Europe. This ensures uniformity and consistency of teaching in line with other language Institutions in London and across Europe.Courses starting on the 25 of September, check the Calendar of Italian language courses organised by the Institute and our new workshops.
